This ready-reckoner includes vital information on the proper collection and transportation of clinical specimens for microbiological investigations, biological waste management, hand hygiene, and monitoring hospital-acquired infections. It simplifies discussions on the morphology, culture characters, biochemical reactions, complex antigenic structure of microbes, and different types of infections. Provides a strong foundation on basic principles of microbial pathogenicity, host response, sterile as well as aseptic techniques to recognize and control the spread of infections in a community or a well-equipped hospital. Useful for paramedical technical staff in their practical examination or viva voce as well as for the students who choose nursing profession as their career.
